I was thinking, Dremel out some vent holes in the front of the case and put a 
fan there to blow over the drives toward the back--is this advisable or 
useful? Your input is appreciated.

Change power supply's the fan from the normal 42 cubic feet per minute (cfm) 
model to a 65 cfm model.

The fan is a 92mm by 25mm form factor model.

Digi-Key sells a 65 cfm Panasonic fan, of the required voltage and form 
factor, under its part number P9760-ND for $11.88.

Special G3 note ...

If you install a finger guard under the fan during installation (or power 
supply modification) and then you remove the finger guard which is built into 
the Mac's case, then a Beige G3 Desktop will be able to accept conventional, 
tall SDRAM sticks.

The only thing which is preventing installation of conventional, tall SDRAM 
sticks in a G3 Desktop is the fact that the old, 7500 case sheet metal was 
resused for the G3 Desktop, and there were no RAM DIMMs under that finger 
guard on pre-G3 machines.

A 92mm finger guard is available from Digi-Key under its part number CR227-ND 
for $0.80.
